Some common challenges in measuring and balancing refrigerant flow in HVAC systems include: 1) Inaccurate or unreliable flow measurements; 2) System complexity and variability; 3) Limited access to system components; 4) Difficulty in identifying and addressing flow restrictions; and 5) Balancing competing system demands and requirements. HVAC professionals must be aware of these challenges and take steps to address them through proper system design, installation, and maintenance.
